Question

Mrs. Lang told her class that the class’s pet hamster is 1/4 ft in length. How long is the hamster in inches?

Answer 1

The class’s pet hamster is 3 inches long

Explanation:

we know that

`1\ ft=12\ in`

To convert inches to feet divide by 12

To convert feet to inches multiply by 12

we have that the class’s pet hamster is 1/4 ft in length

we need to convert feet to inches

so

Multiply by 12

`(1)/(4)\ ft= (1)/(4)(12)=3\ in`

therefore

The class’s pet hamster is 3 inches long
